20th April 2003 - Brixton Academy, London, UK
N/A
This show was the final night of a five night residency by Massive Attack in London at Brixton Academy. This fact is quite historic as they were the very first act to sell out Brixton Academy for five nights in a row.
After this show, Massive Attack would not return to the UK to play live again on the 2003 tour, until the Creamfields Festival in Liverpool on the 23rd August.
With Sinead O’Connor departing the tour after her very brief stint at the shows in Glasgow and Manchester, the setlist reverted back with the Brixton Academy shows, to one used in Australia and Japan in the previous month, without What Your Soul Sings and A Prayer For England. This setlist is what would become the standard at the majority of the remainder of the 2003 tour.
Dot Allison would provide support for this show in the form of an accoutic guitar performance.
The official site for the Brixton Academy is located here.
